That's a gross overstatement. Its more like Bohemia Interactive didn't need to produce so many keys because there was slow business and suddenly everyone was buying them so rapidly they couldn't keep up so they're sending out "IOU"s. I'm not informed on anything but that's how I see it.

Anyways, I've done all that fancy smancy jazz and spent three-hours after work before my next shift trying to fix it and failed each time. I've validated the files (and it keeps saying -1- file isn't right), ran it as admin, reset steam, reset the computer, no dice. Need some relief- I want to get my Daisy on.

Edit 1: Reinstalling the game entirely (Operation Arrowhead that is). Leaving it to reinstall while I go on my next shift. Will report any results at 8:30pm Est Coast (US) time.

well if there are no more keys at the moment steam shouldnt be selling the game. reinstalling the game will get you nowhere closer to a key
